Summary
"What are the practical implications of truly caring about yourself and others, of approaching each day with an open mind, an open heart and a desire to reduce the suffering of all living beings? Can we learn compassion as a way of life, as an antidote to violence and cruelty? In The Seven Virtues of Highly Compassionate People, social scientists Nancy Guerra and Kirk Williams provide easy to follow steps to help you understand the what, the why and the how of compassion. They bring together cutting-edge research, inspiring spiritual teachings, and their own life experiences to help you bring compassion front and center in your life. Not only is compassion good for you and those around you, but it is the key to a more peaceful and just world"-- Provided by publisher.
